Who paid to have this complex built and what year was it built?
How is the park funded and maintained through out the year other than this tax? Is there a rec department affiliated with this complex or does it just belong to the parish?
Who receives all the revenue from the Grand Slam/USSSA tournaments, concessions, player fees, etc?

It is recreation district 2 in Livingston Parish.it was built from money generated with a 10 year tax.
The tourney fees are collected up front. Tourney director pays the park.However it is just chump change compared to what tourney directors make. I've been a part of some tourneys that generated over $30000.

The tournament director/ Host receives the revenue
For regular qualifier tournaments, team entry fees are usually enough to cover field rentals, umpire fees, trophies, paint/chalk to line fields, etc.
Gate and concessions are where any revenue is made.
The tournaments I have been involved with, we raked, watered, cut, and lined the fields. We brought in our own concessions. We emptied every garbage can and brought our own can liners. We cleaned up after ourselves and left no mess. Put soap and toilet paper in the restrooms. So no taxpayer funding was used for us to hold an event.
